The applicant, a sous chef, went on medical leave due to vertigo and anxiety.
When he attempted to return to work, the respondent restaurant repeatedly delayed his return and eventually told him to find another job.
The respondent did not participate in the proceedings and was deemed to have accepted the allegations.
The Tribunal found that the respondent discriminated against the applicant on the basis of disability by failing to facilitate his return to work.
The applicant was awarded $8,000 for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect, and $3,344 for lost wages.
